Londoners are seen taking a holiday trip, sitting on the deck as they embark on their journey to Leith or Granton Pier for Edinburgh. This image captures the excitement and anticipation of travelers as they prepare for their voyage by steamboat.
The scene is bustling with activity as passengers get ready for their summer break, some perhaps heading further north to York and Berwick or even all the way to Dundee. The powered paddle steamer stands out against the backdrop of the sea, symbolizing a mode of transport that was revolutionary at the time.
This snapshot in history offers a glimpse into how people traveled during the 1870s, showcasing not only the physical aspect of steamboats but also highlighting the social aspect of holiday trips.
